Content Warning: Discussions of Transphobia, Homophobia, Racism, as well as brief mentions of current American and international politics. Audio from tracks that include racial and homophobic slurs. Some actors have 30 films to their name, some musicians have discographies spanning 20 years, but there's only one podcast on Spotify that dares to devote entire episodes to the work of both Anna Kendrick and Kendrick Lamar!
In today's episode, we're Kickin' It with both Kendricks, as Pierre and Jeff discuss Lamar's latest album Mr. Morale and the Big Steppers. Lamar's newest is also arguably his most personal, raw album yet, and it should be no surprise that, in order to talk about it, our hosts have to get pretty personal and raw as well!
Later in the episode, we break down Anna Kendrick's most recent movie, the Netflix/Amazon Prime original Stowaway! In this isolated space drama, three astronauts on a mission to Mars discover they've accidentally wound up with an unexpected fourth passenger.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that both Kendricks provides plenty of interesting philosophical fodder for our hosts! And with this being our longest episode ever, you may want to strap in for what you're about to hear!
Big shoutout to Mic the Snare on YouTube, whose video "Making Sense of Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers" was a huge help to Jeff when preparing for this episode.
